Overview

• The Junts leader called it a grave error for the Catalan president to attend 12 October events in Madrid as DANA 'Alice' floods hit southern Tarragona.
• Regional authorities had activated maximum-alert warnings, confined several towns, and raised the Inuncat plan to Emergency level as torrential rains caused widespread disruption.
• Government sources say Salvador Illa landed in Barcelona at 17:20, connected to the CECAT from La Roca del Vallès, and maintained continuous contact with emergency services and local officials.
• Illa and Presidency minister Albert Dalmau traveled overnight to Tortosa, where Illa presided over an extraordinary Inuncat advisory meeting at the Advanced Command Center.
• Els Comuns echoed the criticism and noted that leaders in Valencia, Murcia, and the Balearic Islands skipped Madrid’s events to remain in their territories during the storm.
